Fundraising
Funding comes from individual contributions, special events, corporate donations and sponsorships, foundation grants, workplace giving programs and planned gifts. According to our Fiscal Year 2008 audit, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Metro New York spent 81% of its revenue on wish-granting and related program expenses. Only 10% was spent on administrative costs and 9% was allocated to fundraising.
